With a burst of creativity and lots and lots of paint Mr. Plumbean completely redecorates his house to look like all his dreams. His neighbors–who all have identical, plain-looking houses–are dumbfounded. Mr. Plumbean doesn’t give in to their judgment and eventually finds that following your dreams can be very contagious.
